Important: Err... well. I'm here to say, I may be cancelling RR, as well as Orkmoth. Not to say I'm leaving Sandbox, I'll make lotsa maps still. I can't release the RR alpha as is, due to many things that should be fixed.

The positives: I'll release all my textures as a download. I'll release all the Orkmoth maps, and the RR map as a download. People can continue/complete them if they like I'll continue to expand the Orkmoth universe itself through my novel, website and lore.

The negatives: Both games cancelled

Reasons being: I am facing many problems with RR, and I want to move onto more programming. I have been learning some Java and c# recently, and want to learn more, and am planning a 2D arcade game based on one of my Sandbox ideas called Tetraformer (Tetris Platformer). Learning programming languages, writing a novel, composing music for multiple games, school, developing 2 games just seems to much, I get confused over WHAT to do, and end up doing nothing, so I decided to cancel these two games, and my individual project now will be Tetraformer. I'm planning on programming it in either Java or C# (Microsoft XNA Studio), unless I give up and move to Game Maker, hopefully not

>Don't worry, I'll still use Sandbox to make maps, stay up-to-date with the forum, join the irc, etc -Cork279

PS. Anyone can help with Tetraformer if they wish (sprites, sounds, ideas, anything...)

That's too bad, Cork ... to be honest, it (being busy and having only me) is one of the prime reasons I don't really do much right now. Or ever, to be honest. I hope you can keep on making that awesome music of yours. It's cool that you're still considering Tetraformer, good luck with it.

I have some good news (*cheers*)This project isn't dead completely. Someone is willing to take over the project, so it should progress much more. I asked him to join the forum. He will be taking over the project, moddb page for the games, etc, etc so you can all still look forward to this game! He is from http://theintercooler.com/, I think he's the site owner, which is a new gaming website. Anyway, hopefully he'll update this thread, and the moddb page about the game in the future.

Kinda sucks that you cancelled both. Now I have to remove Orkmoth from the projects page on my website and maybe add it to the Archive. I beleive Tetraformer should be done in Game Maker, I can give you some help with that if you want. You know how capable I am with Game Maker. Just curious, are you still part of Dimensions?

I tried a tutorial for C# from the Microsoft site, and I swear it doesn't work, I finished it with still 50 errors... They're probably outdated, the Microsoft website seems to have a LOT of outdated pages...

My name is Ed from TheIntercooler.com I'm looking forward to continuing the game Cork has started. I've been trolling the forums for a few weeks now trying to get my bearings on how everything works. I'm just waiting for Cork to send me the files so I can see what we have to work with.

I've got some great ideas for additions to the game, but first I need to see where it stands.
